AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY
710 AM CDT SUN JUN 26 2011

.UPDATE...
UPDATED AVIATION SECTION FOR 12Z TAFS

&&

.DISCUSSION...
WITH WATCH IN EFFECT AND ONGOING WEATHER...WILL KEEP THIS AS BRIEF
AS POSSIBLE.

SYNOPTICALLY THIS MORNING WE HAVE A WNW-ESE ORIENTED SFC FRONTAL
BOUNDARY DRAPED OVER THE SOUTHWEST SECTIONS OF OUR CWA ALONG WITH
NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. AS A RESULT...AN MCS IS CURRENTLY PLOWING
ITS WAY SOUTHWARD ACROSS OUR CWA. BETWEEN 12-18Z THIS MORNING
WHATS LEFT OF THIS SYSTEM WILL MAINLY AFFECT THE EASTERN HALF OF
OUR CWA...THEN FROM 18-00Z THIS AFTERNOON PRECIPITATION SHOULD
FOCUS MAINLY OVER THE CENTRAL SECTIONS OF THE CWA IN THE VICINITY
OF THE BOUNDARY.

THE AFOREMENTIONED FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS FORECAST TO LIFT NORTHEAST
TODAY AS A WARM FRONT AND IS FORECAST TO BE DRAPED OVER THE
NORTHEAST SECTIONS OF THE CWA BY 12Z MONDAY. CONSEQUENTLY LATE
TONIGHT PRECIP CHANCES ARE EXPECTED TO BE HIGHEST OVER THE
NORTHEAST SECTIONS. IN THE WAKE OF THE WARM FRONT WARMER MID
LEVEL AIR WILL PUSH NORTHEAST INTO THE AREA AS AN UPPER RIDGE
BUILDS ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE CWA WHICH SHOULD KEEP THOSE
AREAS DRY.

STARTING MONDAY...PRECIP CHANCES WILL INCREASE BACK ACROSS OUR
CWA THROUGH TUESDAY AS THE RIDGE GETS SUPPRESSED A BIT AND A
FRONTAL SYSTEM APPROACHES AND EVENTUALLY CROSSES THE REGION MONDAY
NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. COULD SEE SOME ELEVATED CONVECTION TUESDAY
NIGHT OVER THE SOUTHWEST SECTIONS OF THE CWA NORTH OF THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY.

HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE AND UPPER LEVEL RIDGING SHOULD KEEP
THE REGION DRY AND WARMER FROM NEXT WEDNESDAY THROUGH THE END OF
THE UPCOMING WEEK. CURRENT FORECAST SHOWING PRECIP CHANCES
STARTING NEXT SATURDAY...BUT WILL MAKE NO CHANGES BEYOND WEDNESDAY
WITH THIS ISSUANCE.

&&

.AVIATION...
TIMING OF THUNDERSTORMS IS THE MAIN AVIATION CONCERN THROUGH
TONIGHT. FOR THE FIRST FEW HOURS...RELIED MAINLY ON RADAR
TRENDS...WHICH INDICATED THUNDERSTORMS GENERALLY MOVING AWAY FROM
THE TAF SITES. HOWEVER...A STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY NEAR THE
MISSISSIPPI RIVER COULD PRODUCE NEW CONVECTION AT ANY TIME. THE MOST
LIKELY AREA FOR NEW STORMS IS ON THE COOL SIDE OF THE
BOUNDARY...ESPECIALLY KPAH AREA. AMENDMENTS WILL LIKELY BE REQUIRED
THROUGH THE DAY TO FINE TUNE THE TIMING AND LOCATION OF STORMS AS
NEW DATA ARRIVES.
